CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

ENTJ. Spiritually inclined. The world is spinning very fast; I aim to speed it up. I enjoy simplicity and wonder, good beer and fresh vegetables. As a teacher of mine once said, "Give us more!"

PHILOSOPHY

Ken Wilber argues that the aim of life is towards greater complexity. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Abdul Khader Khan from "Shantaram" agree. Good enough for me.
